3. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his [1] ;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

4. Why is it important?
1. Without THANKSGIVING there is
no PRAISE.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise; “

5. The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the
Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God
in my hands."
So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses,
Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were
winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were
winning.
When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him
and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one
on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.

6. Why is it important?

VICTORY.
